About this product

Product Information

Writer-director Rebecca Miller's third film (following ANGELA and PERSONAL VELOCITY) is a powerful, poignant drama about a father and daughter living on their own on the outskirts of nowhere, just as developers are starting to move in. Daniel Day-Lewis (Miller's husband) stars as Jack Slavin, a 1960s holdover who is a man of the earth, working the land and defending his territory while eschewing such modernities as television. Jack is devoted to his daughter, Rose (Camilla Belle), a 16-year-old girl who is equally as devoted to him. But Jack is sick, so he asks his girlfriend, Kathleen (Catherine Keener), along with her two sons, Rodney (Ryan McDonald) and Thaddius (Paul Dano), to come from the mainland and move in with them, thinking they can be Rose's family once he dies. But Rose begins to act out in dangerous ways, threatening to severely damage the already fragile relationships that are developing. Day-Lewis gives a shattering, emotional performance as Jack, and he is matched well with Belle, who seems wise beyond her years. Filmed on location on Prince Edward Island, THE BALLAD OF JACK AND ROSE is a harrowing, intimate film set in a beautiful, lush land.This film screened at the 2005 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

  • Enjoyable Single-Father Movie

    Not a lot of movies talk about single dads and this movie does it in a very radical way. Although Jack's character kind of serve's the movie's purpose of portraying a small family living in isolation, the movie's direction is very careful of not falling into gratuity through the unusual father-daughter relationship the protagonists have. The direction is good, the acting is OK, but there are also some silly clichés and hard-to-believe scenes. I only recommend it to people interested in this kind of relationship as a topic. Apart from that, there is not much to see.
